Earlier this afternoon I did a double session for one of the most genuinely amazing human beings ever, Courtney Courtney Ballard Fitton and her son Luke.
You may ask yourself why there are 3 irises showing in the photo then when I only photographed two of them today, well that third iris belongs to Courtney’s amazing daughter Sage who sadly and unfortunately passed away earlier this year.
We had plans to do Sage’s irises along with Courtney and Luke’s, but due to hospital stays and life just being life, we unfortunately never had the chance to make it happen. Luckily Courtney had used her cell phone to capture the best image she could just to share it with me to show how epic Sage’s eyes were.
So as a surprise I fixed up the cell phone photo she sent me and incorporated it into the designs when I was putting together the gallery.
I really truly wish I had the opportunity to meet Sage and do the images myself because her smile that I’ve seen in so many photos on Courtney’s social medias, would’ve been one amazing thing to be a part of in real life. Sage was a bright light and such a special soul so I knew how special it would be to include her in these designs! So I am super grateful Courtney had the foresight to use her phone to capture them!
Courtney and Luke though were soooooooo fun to work with! They both had me cracking up and Luke was the coolest 8 year old kid ever, totally into pokemon and says words like dude and bro lol
Courtney has chocolate brown eyes while Luke had some epic golden bluish green eyes with Sage having a grayish bluish iris with some brown/orange sectoral heterochromia.
These guys are totally into being outside, camping, traveling, and gaming!
Anyways I could go on for hours about how amazing Courtney and her kids are but I have to run and set up a Photo Booth for a birthday party tonight so I’ll have to save all that adoration for another time!
It was so nice to officially meet you and Luke today Courtney! Here are some of my favorite designs of all your amazing eyeballs!
